Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have been an athlete all of my life, a champion and a proven winner.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Protect Women's Sports
• Protect the Children
• Respect immigration laws. Close the border.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We must restore core values and a sound curriculum in our education system, K-12 and higher learning, protect the innocence of our children and the sanctity of life. We must get our men off the streets, especially our veterans. Get them healthy, educated and prepared for the workforce. Expansion of the Second Chance Act to include more funding and programs for our troubled youth. Women's sports should remain exclusive to biological women. Create a new division for anyone who does not fit that criterion. An open border is a national security issue and should be treated as such. American citizens should always be the first priority when legislation is put in place. Say no to higher taxes and yes to higher wages. Stop pushing drugs on our children. We must restore a free and fair election process.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My parents because they instilled in me the value of hard work and being respectful. They taught me that I could accomplish anything in life as long as I believed in myself and always put GOD first.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

They should be familiar with the Constitution and honor the commitment to which they are sworn into office.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Being a good listener and a fast learner.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Do your job.

What legacy would you like to leave?

That I did great things in this life to make our country better and the lives of American citizens better.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Being selected to cover sports news for a major TV station in Los Angeles at age 16.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Doing chores around the house. Still doing the job to this day.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Aria from Game of Thrones.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The power of the purse. The checks and balances of our legislative branches is what makes America great.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes and no.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

A rise in transient causes that do not align with our Constitution. Massive corruption in every aspect of our government, including our election process.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

No. Four, much like the president. However, it should also depend on the job performance.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Terms limits should be evaluated based on the specific office, candidate and purpose.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

It depends on what policy, issue or law legislators are being asked to compromise.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

It is important to control spending and creating unnecessary debt.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

To the fullest, especially if it involves allegations of corruption and any threat to the sovereignty of our country.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Urban Conservatives of America. Melissa M. Wilson

Campaign website

Bryant’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Your Vote For Carolyn Supports Legislation For: Protection of Women's Sports - We must push for legislation to be passed in all 50 states to protect our sports divisions, locker rooms and scholarships and all other provisions for biological women guaranteed under Title IX. Smaller Government. Energy Independence. Fiscally Responsible Government Spending. Education - We must protect our children. We must return to teaching core subjects in the classrooms that prepare the next generation to be productive and decent citizens. Homeless Crisis - We must get our men, and especially our veterans, off the streets. We must get them educated, mentally and physically healthy, and prepared for the workforce. Border Crisis: Close the border and restore the policies for legal immigration. Flooding Crisis: Why are communities still suffering from poor draining systems? We can't stop the rain, but we can make sure our tax dollars are being used to keep our homes and roads safe.	”
